How to Log Startup errors? Logfile gets created after startup only.

Hi,

I have written a module, and want to write some warning errors in the
logfile for the related configuration.

But since Apache does not create log file till the configuration is
loaded and server is started. I am not able to see my log messages.

Please suggest a way out. I must write log message at configuration
loading/startup only.

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Vishal

I think he wants the -e flag to httpd. This will log startup errors to 
stdout. See LogLevel for the various available levels.

So you can start the server with something like:

% apachectl -e debug -k start

Erm, yes it does!  See for example mod_transform, that logs a message
when it loads and caches a stylesheet at system startup.
